Just wondering how those black reflective surfaces are achieved in macro photography...

strobists suggests using polished black granite tiles, but i'm pretty convinced it's quite hard to get a single tile here in sg.
I've tried using clear wrap and even.. transparent folders (both with black paper underneath). Both require loads of lighting to make them reflective enough...What would you guys suggest/use as a replacement?
Thanks for the input guys
